EDS Healthcare in Virginia
The UVA Health EDS and Hypermobility Disorders Center in Charlottesville, founded by Dr. Dacre Knight (who came from Mayo Clinic), is a significant new resource for the state and region. It received over 550 patient requests within its first month of opening. Bethesda Physiocare in nearby Maryland is an EDS Society Center of Excellence. Northern Virginia patients also have access to D.C.-area programs including Johns Hopkins.
Central and northern Virginia patients have good access to the UVA program in Charlottesville and D.C.-area resources. However, rural western Virginia and the southeastern Tidewater region face more limited options. The UVA program's rapid demand suggests wait times may be significant. Hampton Roads patients have a local support group but limited specialist access.
Finding Physical Therapy for EDS
When choosing a PT for EDS, ask whether they have experience with hypermobility and use stabilization-first protocols rather than standard stretching routines.
